What Do Your Funny Shirts Say About You? Part I: The Pop Culture Shirt

What makes a shirt funny? We think there are lots of different types of funny shirts, so we've organized our tees into a few categories. In this edition, we'll start with with pop culture themed t-shirts, and we'll talk about what those shirts say about you, the people who wear them!

People have been wearing t-shirts in some variation since the 19th century, and for almost as long, many have used their shirts as a means of expressing a message or making a statement. For many, tees are also a way for you to show the world that you're "in" on pop culture references. The pop culture enthusiast will have the shirt with that one obscure line from the movie that everyone has seen. They'll have another with the logo of a famous tech or food or drink brand, and a multitude of others, featuring whatever happens to be popular this moment.

Nostalgic Pop Culture T-Shirts

If you find yourself wearing nostalgic funny t-shirts, you love to remember the pop culture of days gone by. These shirts and logos have been around forever: the Superman S, The Rolling Stones Lick, I Heart NYC, Vote for Pedro. These are the classics peppering in your wardrobe.

Movie Pop Culture T-Shirts

If you're a movie-buff, you love to wear pop culture tees include famous movie posters, lines, jokes, or gags from your favorite films. People who pass you at work, school, or on the street give you a laugh, a chuckle, or a nod. They recognize you as one who knows what IS cool.

Video Game Pop Culture T-Shirts

If you're a gamer, you'll find the heroes from your favorite games like Mario, Sonic, and Halo adorning your chest. For you, variety is the spice of video game life. You like so many parts of gaming pop culture, from retro and arcade games to new releases on PS4 and Xbox One, you want to stay loyal to all of them.
